Sips and Conversations

this episode is about everything & nothing (like all good podcasts) | Part 2

Join Nancy Ngwa and Elana Goodman for Part 2 of their cozy, candid catch-up on Sips & Conversations. This time, the conversation gets a little deeper — exploring what it really means to stay informed, stay authentic, and stay soft in a world that often demands the opposite.
Nancy and Elana reflect on the challenges of navigating social media, current events, and personal branding while protecting their peace. They unpack the complexities of self-advocacy as Black women, the quiet power of setting boundaries, and why community care matters more than ever.
And of course — no deep conversation is complete without tea. Special shoutout to Earth’s Apothecary Herbs & Tea for keeping us grounded and cozy throughout this episode. (Highly recommend sipping while you listen!)
This episode is a reminder that softness and strength can coexist — and sometimes the best thing you can do is log off, pour a cup of tea, and root back into yourself.
So get comfortable, pour something warm, and join Nancy and Elana for an unfiltered, affirming chat about showing up for yourself and your people. 💛🎙️🌱

this episode is about everything & nothing (like all good podcasts) | Part 1

In this two-part catch-up episode of Sips & Conversations, Nancy Ngwa and Elana Goodman are back — and yes, the vibes are very much here. From plotting a chaotic takeover of Medieval Times (yes, really) to debating the superior egg dish, Nancy and Elana are catching up on all things food, friendship, and the art of trying to be social adults.
They get into:→ vintage shopping finds nobody asked for→ why hosting people at home is lowkey elite→ the emotional labor of making plans (!!!)→ preparing for kids’ visits like it’s the Met Gala→ and the little joys that make everyday connection feel special
Equal parts ridiculous and real, this episode is basically what happens when you catch up with your friends and accidentally solve the world’s problems... or just end up talking about brunch for an hour.
Grab your tea (or a mimosa) and pull up — it’s grown woman catch-up hour.
